Christian Lindner, the former Finance Minister of Germany, criticized the country's leaders for not adopting Bitcoin's economic opportunities and falling behind the US in terms of crypto innovation. He called out key German leaders for not recognizing Bitcoin as a valuable financial tool and failing to implement a crypto-friendly policy. Lindner's comments were supported by his party, the FDP, but some in the crypto community questioned why he spoke up so late. Germany's approach to Bitcoin has faced criticism, especially after selling seized Bitcoin at a much lower price, resulting in missed profits. Lindner's speech received mixed responses from the German crypto community, with some praising him for bringing Bitcoin into parliamentary discussions and others criticizing him for speaking up late. He warned that Germany risks falling behind in crypto innovation and urged leaders to recognize Bitcoin's value and seize the opportunities it presents.
